Senate says in a non-binding resolution that the President should not pardon Ghislaine Maxwell

The Senate states that the President should not grant Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon, commutation, or other form of executive clemency. It concerns Maxwell's conviction for crimes involving the sexual exploitation and trafficking of minors and her 20-year federal sentence. This is a statement of the Senate's opinion and does not itself change any law or bind the President.

The Senate says clemency for Maxwell would conflict with justice and accountability for crimes against children, and that it stands with victims. It applies to victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking and to the Senate's view of Maxwell's sentence.
